Answer:

Portia and Other Female Characters

Explanation:

Portia is the main female protagonist of the play The Merchant of Venice. She is beautiful like Desdemona and Miranda; gracious and resilient like Cordelia and intelligent and quick-witted like Rosalind. Unlike Juliet, Portia is very tactful in choosing her husband.

Like Viola, Portia disguises herself as a man. She is even smart in assuming the role of an advocate's apprentice and helped save Antonio's life in court.

in argument and intelligence, Portia is better than Regan when she speaks in court. She discovers a technicality in the bond, thereby outwitting the Jewish moneylender Shylock and saving Antonio's life from the pound of flesh demanded.

Which two details from paragraph 9 allude to a work of fiction, further supporting the
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

To allude to a work of fiction, the text must cite the title or elements of that work such as characters, themes, scenarios, among others.

<h3>How is the allusion presented in a text?</h3>
  • Allusion is a figure of speech that allows a reference to texts, places, and people to be presented within another text.
  • Allusion serves to create examples, increase understanding, create relationships and extend meaning.

Therefore, to allude to a work of fiction, the text must present references to that work.

You didn't show the text you refer to, which makes it impossible for me to answer your question exactly, but I hope the above answer can help you.
